# --description--

The <dfn>console</dfn> allows you to print and view JavaScript output. You can send information to the console using `console.log()`. For example, this code will print `"Naomi"` to the console:

```js
let developer = "Naomi";
console.log(developer);
```

The code above accesses the `developer` variable with its name in the `console.log()`. Note that the value between the parentheses is the value that will be printed.

Print the value of the `character` variable to the console. Then, click the "Console" button to view the JavaScript console.

# --hints--

You should access the `console` in your code.

```js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /console/);
```

You should access the `log` property of the `console`.

```js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /console\.log/);
```

You should use parentheses to call the `.log()` method.

```js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /console\.log\(/);
```

You should print the `character` variable to the console.

```js
assert.match(__helpers.removeJSComments(code), /console\.log\(\s*character\s*\)/);
```
